Disclaimer: I don't own anything Harry Potter, but I do own the main love interest in this story.
It's been seven years, seven long years, since that damned Golden Trio first arrived here at Hogwarts to begin their school careers, which should have ended years ago. Seven years that the war against the Dark Lord has come to the grounds of Hogwarts in one way or another, seven years since Lucius Malfoy first suspected me of being a traitor to our master, but has had no real evidence and therefore said nothing, and seven years since that bastard of a man took the one truly good thing in my life and killed her.
Aurora MacNamare was the kindest, most beautiful, and most powerful witch I had ever met. She had long, light brown hair with just a hint of blonde in a few of the strands, beautiful emerald green eyes, and a small, petite figure that stood at about 5' 3". And this is the truly best thing about her, she was no ordinary, run of the mill pureblood witch, she was a kind-hearted, gentle-souled, Pure Light Entity, with more power in her left pinkie than most purebloods had in their entire body, including me.
I never knew her when she was growing up. She had grown up in America and attended Muggle schools until she graduated high school, learning about her powers from her parents, who were also Pure Light Entities, at night before she went to bed. After she graduated high school, she had received a letter from Dumbledore requesting that she meet with him at Hogwarts for more extensive training in her abilities and one day a possible job at Hogwarts. Naturally, she moved to her parents' native country, England, and persued a life of leaning and training.
I only met her because the Dark Lord had sent me back for a mission. She came during my summer vacation for her meeting with Albus, and when my master heard that a Pure Light Entity had come to Hogwarts to further her training, he wanted her either converted or killed. I was the one given the mission, since I was the only Death Eater who could get in and out of Hogwarts without detection or a lot of questions.
The moment I got to Hogwarts, I headed up to Albus' office to inform him of the situation, but as I got there, there she was talking to the Headmaster and being accepted as a student in the advanced classes for the next year. However, I didn't know it was her, at first, the Dark Lord didn't know what she looked like, only that she was powerful and he needed her on his side of the was or on no one's side at all.
As I entered, giving her a scowl of a lifetime, she was leaving the room. I don't know why I scowled, I guess I did it out of habit, knowing that she would end up in one of my classes, I couldn't have her thinking that I simply smiled at everyone.
Once she was gone and I was sure that there was no one within earshot, I told Albus about everything. I told him how the Dark Lord had sensed a Pure Light Entity coming to Hogwarts and how I was to either convert this being to his side of the war, or at least to his Dark Arts, or I was to kill her to keep her from joining him on the good side.
Albus explained that the young woman who had just left the room had been the Pure Light Entity that I had been sent to kill or convert and that he had a plan to keep her on his side and alive.
Dumbledore had been working on a particular charm that would permanently hide her and her magical abilities from anyone who might be looking for her. The only problem was, that if she should go missing, no one would be able to find her unless they did it the Muggle was, by "bumping" into her. All the while, she would be here, at Hogwarts disguised as a student learning how to control her powers better and how to advance her abilities. All I would have to do was report her as dead to the Dark Lord saying that she was unconvertible.
After about a month, I reported her as dead to the Dark Lord and gave him the whole story of how I had tried to lure her to the Dark Arts and tried to presued her to join our side of the war, but she wouldn't have it. So one night, while she was asleep, Albus and myself were actually placing the charm on her, I snuck into her room and killed her. Needless to say, the Dark Lord wasn't all that happy about it. I spent three weeks recovering in the Hospital Wing after a multitude of Crucio curses were placed upon me for "actually killing" such a powerful being.
After that, I spent my time unconsciously wooing the young girl. She had a real head for potions, as well as anything else she was taught, but she always seemed to try to take extra potions classes.
When the school year started, she spent her days in the infirmary helping out Madam Pomfrey and her evenings were spent in one of the classrooms, getting a private lesson in one field or another. But when it came to my night, we would skip the lessons. It wasn't that I didn't have more to teach her, it was that we could always think of better ways to spend the evenings, rather than hunched over a cauldron.
We would sometimes go to Hogsmeade and walk around town, or we would walk around the grounds and just talk about any and everything. That was how I had known so much about her past. And if we didn't go for a walk, we would spend time in the dungeons in eachother's company and have our own kind of fun.
She was the first girl I had ever grown attached to, the only girl I had ever allowed myself to love. I had told her all about myself and my past, including my darker days and how I had become a Death Eater and then how I had become a spy for the good side. She never once cringed or tried to find a to get away from me, which had only made me love her more.
We had been together for four years and she was finally finished with her training. We were both so happy and I had secret plans to propose to her on our anniversary, but I made the mistake of refusing to carry out some orders that Lucius had for me. After that, Lucius never did trust me again and got it into his head tat I was a traitor, which I had been for years now, but he had no solid proof.
So on the day of mine and Aurora's four year anniversary, Lucius kidnapped her and told me that he had killed her as an example of what he would do to me if he ever found out that I was actually betraying our master. The next day, the Golden Trio came to Hogwarts to begin their school careers, and I began even more secretly fight against the Dark Lord so Lucius didn't suspect anything else of me and neither did Voldemort.
